A very basic mod, but one that fixes an issue that some players will have been finding a nuisance.

Valheim’s combat hardly requires much finesse, which is why it would be much easier if you could simply hold attack rather than having to continually click. Well, here’s the fix! Download link.

Epic Loot

If you’re looking to transform Valheim into more of a loot-based RPG experience akin to something like Diablo, then the Epic Loot mod from Randyknapp is for you.

Here’s how Randyknapp describes it:

“This mod aims to add a loot drop experience to Valheim similar to Diablo or other RPGs. Monsters and chests can now drop Magic, Rare, Epic, or Legendary magic items. Each magic item has a number of magic effects on it, that give bonuses to the item or your character when that magic item is equipped.”

For Valheim players with a green thumb, this particular mod will be of special interest. Plant Everything by Advize is a rework of a previous mod called Planting Plus by bkeyes93, enhancing the original with several important bug fixes that now makes it the ultimate planting mod.

Essentially, Plant Everything expands the cultivar options to include a variety of new plants, which can be planted using resources collected from various flora. This includes the following:

  • Raspberry Bush, Blueberry Bush, Cloudberry Bush
  • Mushrooms, Yellow Mushrooms, Blue Mushrooms
  • Thistle, Dandelion
  • Birch Sapling, Oak Sapling, Ancient Sapling

With EnableMiscFlora enabled in config (see instructions):

  • Small Beech Tree, Small Fir Tree, Small Dead Fir Tree
  • Small Plains Bush, Small Fruitless Bush (2 tints), Small Shrub (2 tints)
  • Vines

Note: You will need the BepInExPack for Valheim for this mod to work. Make sure you read the instructions for Plant Everything before attempting to install.

Better Archery

Ranged combat is such a large part of Valheim, but it’s rather basic and uninspired in terms of how it actually operates. Good thing, then, that elfking23‘s Better Archery mod completely overhauls it for the better.

Installing this mod, which also requires BepInExPack for Valheim, makes the following core changes to the way archery works in the game:

  • New Quiver (Charlie)
  • Retrievable arrows
  • Zooming while drawing the bow
  • Aim improvements
  • Arrow physics improvements

You can read the full list of changes over on the mod page here.

Valheim Legends

If you’re looking to overhaul Valheim to a more conventional RPG experience then Legends by torann introduces 12 selectable hero classes to the game, each with its own unique abilities and attributes.

There’s everything from a raging berserker to a fireball-wielding mage to choose from, and selection of each class is as simple as offering a resource to your Eikthyr Altar.

Requires BepInExPack Valheim.
